It is possible that the outage caused a surge which damaged the device, however there a couple things to try.

Try unplugging your Roku device and router for 30 to 60 seconds.

You can also reset the network connection on the Roku as well.  Sometimes it helps to set up the network on the Roku like it is brand new.
